Chocolate Chip Cookies for a Big Day

To compound my difficult week… and returning to work has certainly been very hard, tomorrow we’re taking Little S for her rearranged peanut challenge. I don’t feel quite so nervous this time, but that’s just because I’ve had other things on my mind! I’m sure tomorrow will bring the same ‘sick to my stomach’ feeling – I know it’s good we’re doing this challenge but I hate to think that Little S is going to be really sick. The positives are that me might find that her peanut allergy isn’t so severe, and we’ll be confident in her recognising any future reaction. Still, I’ll certainly be very glad when it’s over….

To make the journey home a little more fun, I’ve made some classic american style chocolate chip cookies – the perfect treat-like comfort food. I’ve always found Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies without eggs and dairy surprising difficult to make – either too oily or too flimsy. This version works well, and is certainly what you’d expect from a CCC.

Well it wasn’t the results we’d hoped for… Quite a big reaction to the smallest amount of peanut. My poor little angel was so sick:-( and a bit scared…. So so so pleased its over. Thanks so much for your support

Now we know ‘traces of’ are much too much. The only answer is more home cooking I guess 😉

You are too nice 🙂 It was awful to see… She knew within 30 seconds of ingesting 1/12th of a peanut that she felt odd, but at least she knew…. Apparently some kids eat loads before realising it was a mistake! At least we won’t take any unnecessary risks from now on xxx
